The Mom Stash III
They say a man’s home is his castle.
We moms command a different palace—the family car. And since we spend so much time there, we might as well fortify it with all things we need to do battle. Here’s the latest in our irregular Mom Stash series—tried and tested ideas to equipping your car for any encounter. (We keep a plastic dollar-store basket stocked up and handy for a variety of battles.)
Slow Food Fast
I had a dream last night: a chef in my kitchen, recipe in hand, shopping, chopping and schlepping done. She looked at me and said, “Just cook it.”
Check It Out
“Read it again Mom.”
We know you’d like to but you’re facing a sinkful of dishes, the Everest of all laundry piles and, on top of that, you’ve already read “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” 17 times in the last 24 hours. Kids may love constant repetition but you don’t.
It’s Your Choice
It used to be that the worst kind of plastic was the kind Granny wrapped around her sofa. These days, though, it’s hard to know for sure what the health impacts of our household plastics are.
Pick of the Park
Think your house looks like a hurricane hit? You should see Stanley Park.
Trade Secrets
It’s the time of year for “shoulds”. You should exercise more, eat better, improve your mind. Maybe re-organize your house, clean out your closets or renovate that bathroom too.
Reference? Check!
It’s not easy finding the right man these days. And you really have to trust him if you are going to welcome him into your home.
Jack’s in the Box
Big gift arrives. Child screams with glee.
You Know the Type
There’s just no easy way to put a label on the complex modern day mom. Still, some people just can’t help themselves (Don’t they know labels are for hats and mitts?).
